Hatch core repair
Well this one is in regards to the plywood thread. The fuel tank hatch cover was cut in half by a previous owner when replacing the tank. So I had another cover that wasn't cut that needed re-coring. I am by no means a fiberglass guy, and I personally HATE fiberglass work. SO I hope I get it done half way right.
Heres the cover after cutting it apart, even HYDRA-SPORTS used the wood squares.  Here it is after taking a putty knife to it and scraping the old squares out.  All cleaned up with a grinder, and washed it up to remove any residue from the old wood glue.  The piece of wood I got from HOME DEPOT, hope it lasts  . And here it is after a layer of mat, lots of resin(man that old glass was like a sponge), and being tucked in for the night to cure.

I hope she holds up for awhile. I know it is pretty sturdy. I flipped it over and bounced on it and it didn't move ANY. I learned more about fiberglass work than I EVER wanted to know.

It will last for as long as you will ever need!! The big problem with most boats Wellcraft included is the scrap wood they used in squares to make the covers. The 1 Solid will last a long time!

Looks really good. The only thing that you could have done differently was to put a 45 cut along the edge of the plywood. This makes the transition from the wood to the decking easier when working the fiberglass.

I didn't put a 45 on it, but I did bevel it down quite a bit. It just doesn't look it because of how thick i made the glass in that area since the wood doesn't go all the way out.
